Hi Louis,
I actually advised him to do something similar with his ldif.

Vinifa,
What I posted was a piece of code from a bash script I wrote to add Unix 
users to AD,this is it again:

  UNICODEPWD=$(echo -n "\"$_USER_PW\"" | $_ICONV -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | 
$_BASE64 -w 0)


It sets the variable 'UNICODEPWD' to what running the code inside the 
brackets produces.

i.e. if the users password is to be 'password' , 'echo -n \"password\" | 
iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | base64 -w 0'

The '|' means 'pass' or more correctly 'pipe' the result of the left 
hand command to the command on the right, the '\' signs are important, 
they escape the quote marks which MUST be there.
